Whether you're a person on an addiction sobriety path or you know someone who is, we are here to talk about our journey with it and, more importantly, we want to help end the stigma and shame of alcoholism and we want to bring some hope and laughter along the way too.
Margaret Swift Thompson joins Dr Marry and DD on #guestThursday to share her deeply personal journey through addiction and recovery. In this episode, Margaret opens up about her struggles with trauma and how it played a significant role in her path to sobriety. She sheds light on the importance of self-care, not just for those battling addiction but also for their family members who often bear the emotional burden.
Margaret’s story begins with an anonymous letter she received at work, revealing her ex-fiancé’s addiction. This revelation set her on a tumultuous journey where she grappled with feelings of responsibility and the daunting question of whether she deserved to walk away from the relationship. Her narrative is a powerful reminder that addiction's impact extends beyond the individual to their loved ones. Margaret emphasizes the necessity of community resources and support systems in the recovery process.
She founded Embrace Family Recovery to provide a platform for families of addicts, offering both a podcast and one-on-one sessions. The conversation also delves into the shared experiences of feeling compelled to 'fix' others as a way to find self-worth. Margaret and the hosts encourage family members to prioritize their own well-being too. This episode is a testament to hope and resilience, illustrating that recovery is a journey not just for addicts but for everyone around them.
Tune in to hear Margaret’s inspiring story and gain insights into the multifaceted nature of addiction recovery.
